Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish the (a) research and (b) reports that her Department has commissioned and requested on (i) the Sikh community and (ii) Sikh groups and organisations in each of the last three years.

Answer

The Counter-Extremism Strategy published in 2015 covers all forms of extremism and a key part of that strategy is about building our understanding wider extremism issues, including those affecting the Sikh community.
